- Displaylink manager 1.7.1 (EDIT: Updated to 1.8.0. but no change to problem)


My problem and workarounds:

- When I log-out and re-login to my Mac (which I do several times a day), there's a 50-50 chance that my two extended HDMI displays will go blank
- I can fix this problem by quitting and restarting the displaylink manager app several times (and sometimes I need to unplug and re-plug the cable to my macbook); this process often takes 2-3 minutes
- As a result I spend 2-3 minutes several times a day fiddling with my displays, which is a frustrating experience.


What I am looking for:

- Is there a better solution to my problems?
- If not, is there any keyboard shortcut I can use to quit and restart the displaylink manager app, so that I don't have to use the menubar process several times a day?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! ��
